While I don't particularly care for Patrick Buchanan, and the title of this piece is rather racist in tone, I'd say this is one of those times when he hits one home.

You know Pat, back in the 1840s it was Irish Catholics who were considered the threat to a united America.

--Alexander Hamilton
Don't always agree with him, but Pat's right on this one.

We were confident and proud of who we were. That was yesterday.I never know if Pat is lamenting his fallen culture or his fallen career.
I don't think he sees a difference.

OK, what is Pat to make of all the "race traitor" white males who marry Asian women. It seems to me that at least 20% of the white guys you meet in NYC are married to Asians these days.
America has been a cultural cesspool since it was founded. Sure we have our Hemingways and Ellingtons, but they have always been outnumbered by the Yellow Press, Pulp Novels, "reality shows" and other such dreck that have dominated mass culture from the beginning.
My fear is that we are letting in too many POOR people who will vote us into Socialism. I fear that there is no hope, even if we started a ZERO immigration policy tomorrow.
As far as the "cultural" aspect, there are some negatives, but I could care less what language you speak, what music you listen too and what food you eat. All I ask is that you don't claim that I OWE YOU A LIVING and that you leave ME the f--k alone!

Race isn't the issue, but the desire of our immigrants to assimilate, including speaking English and learning about the Constitution and what it really means, is.
The main valid point of his piece is that about illegal immigrants who could care less about being American and assimilating.

I recall a story my father told me--he graduated high school in 1952--but when he was in an early grade, the class was reading about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Karli Willmers was reading and as he came to the word
pooridge he was unsure about the pronunciation. He ad-libbed and used the Finnish equivalent, "bood-wa," the teacher thought he was cussing, and took action.
Mrs. Connelly, the teacher, who taught kids from K-2nd grade in the same room, taught me as well. She had a helluva memory as she often called me by my father's name. Could never figure out why she had me sit in front where she could keep an eye on me.

Close the door to all immigration. Maybe allow more Swedish bikini team members, but that's it.

Read the title again.
Sounds fine to me.

"In 2050, there will be three times as many people living here as in 1960 -- 420 million. White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Hispanics in the United States, more than 100 million, will be equal to the population of today's Mexico. Our Asian population will be almost as large as our African-American population today. By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation. Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City."

Got news for Pat. America's orginal inhabitants (Mexicans...most of which are pure-blood native indians) are not white.
If you are going to worry about immigration it should be all the freak'n Muslims we allow to come into this country. It is B.S. that we allow people with money to get into this country (i.e. the 9/11 hijackers), but waste millions of dollars to chase down those pesky "wetbacks".

I doubt he wrote the headline. Editors ususally write them. But the use of the word white, isn't racist,(though I doubt he picked it) Lets be fair, about common usage in America, Whites, generally describe themselves,and each other, using those words. It is acceptable speech. I realize some prefer other words, but neither is considered rude or racist. The test is wether people who have that quality describe themselves that way , and if others do also, in polite conversation. I call myself white, my African American friends and my Asian friends, both refer to me in that way, and I to myself that way. My Asian friends refer to themselves as Asian, though when we were growing up they called themselves Japanese, or Chinese, which ever the case. I follow their lead. Use the words they use, as any polite person should do. Don't see any racism in the title, but again, I doubt he picked it.

it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them. It is hard to overthrow open borders worshipers, especially when they control both political parties. Pat is one of the few who isn't afraid to tell the truth about open borders. And as a thank you for his truthfulness, he is called a "racist".

Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Oh come on Pat? Don't be a boob. We all know American's prefer the endless, epic flood of millios across our borders. We have plenty of room here. Look at the plains of Oklahoma. Why we could build ten thousand, fifty story pink apartment buildings. We'll have two laborers for every citizen!
Besides, what would we do if we couldn't find a cheap head of lettuce?
